Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Tests Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: A.B., Khalid (abkhd) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: test_1686475 of test_os & pagefile.sys Initial Comment: test_1686475 of test_os appears to rely on the existence of "pagefile.sys" on the C drive like so: def test_1686475(self): # Verify that an open file can be stat'ed try: os.stat(r"c:\pagefile.sys") except WindowsError, e: if e == 2: # file does not exist; cannot run test return self.fail("Could not stat pagefile.sys") But since pagefile.sys may not be on every C drive and since the exception object e is not a numeric then that test is probably going to fail if the pagefile.sys does not exist where it is expected. In such a case Windows returns "[Error 5] Access is denied: 'c:\\pagefile.sys'". So we need to test if e.winerror == 5 to skip this and return without failing. Patch "test_os.patch" is attached. By the way, I see the same problem in the trunk, so maybe this need to be applied there as well. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: A.B., Khalid (abkhd) Date: 2007-04-30 01:52 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1079026 Originator: YES Please see http://www.python.org/sf/1686475 for reference. Martin, I think you should be checking for ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED not ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION as you do in your patch to r54685 and r54686. The attached posixmodule patch fixes this issue for me on MinGW. Can you try it out?
